Sen. Bernie Sanders returned to his home in Brooklyn Friday afternoon, holding a rally outside his family’s former apartment building in Midwood.

“I spent the first 18 years of my life in apartment 2C,” Sanders said pointing to the building behind him. “This was a great community to grow up in.”

Sanders received cheers from the crowd, which filled part of East 26th Street between Kings Highway and Avenue P, when he spoke about fixing the country’s “broken criminal justice system,” winning the fight for a $15 minimum wage, providing health care for everyone and addressing climate change.
